The RHS guidance office has two full-time counselors and a graduation coach to help students in personal, academic, and career issues. Students can make appointments or just drop-in as needed. Parents/families/guardians are welcome to contact us with any concerns they have for their student, even if that concern is not necessarily school related. Make sure to check the calendar regularly for important dates that pertain to juniors and seniors specifically in preparing for graduation, as well as underclassmen testing information.

Class of 2019 & 2021 should contact Kim Kelley or Steve Smith

Class of 2018 & 2020 should contact Stacey McEvoy or Steve Smith
